"After
watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy
for president, we have decided we won’t report on Trump’s campaign as
part of The Huffington Post’s political coverage. Instead, we will
cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is
simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait. If you
are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to
our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette." Huff'nPuff

I
mean, what the hell; this is just too precious. Don't like that
your
candidate is losing? Embargo the opponent. All very much in
line with
the leftist play book.

How do you settle a presidential election when the vote is too close to
call?

With an ice fishing contest, of course!

After the first round of votes were counted, Hillary Clinton and Donald
Trump were deadlocked.

Instead of going through a recount, the two agreed to a week-long ice
fishing contest to settle the election. Whoever caught the most fish at
the end of the week would be the President.

The candidates decided a remote frozen lake in northern Wisconsin would
be the ideal place. No observers on the fishing grounds, but both
candidates would need to have their catches verified and counted each
night at 5pm.

After Day 1, Trump returned with a total of 10 fish, Hillary came back
with nothing.

Day 2 finished, and Trump caught another 20 fish, but Hillary once
again came back with nothing!

That night, Hillary and her cronies got together and accused Trump of
being a “low-life, cheatin’ son-of-a-gun.” Instead of fishing on Day 3,
they were just going to follow Trump to spy on him and figure out how
he was cheating.

Day 3 finished up and Trump had an incredible day, adding 50 fish to
his total!

That night, Hillary and her democratic buddies got together for the
full report on how Donald was cheating. Hillary stood up to give her
report and said, “You are not going to believe this, he’s cutting holes
in the ice!”

And that, my friends, tells you all you need to know about the
intelligence on the left side of the aisle!

America will never be destroyed from the outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because
we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln

“I
lived like 90 percent of Americans, oblivious to everything that was
going on, from the time I was 18 until the Bundy Ranch happened,” he
said. “I just said, ‘I can’t sit back and do nothing. I’ve got to get
involved.’ I feel responsible for where we’re at, because I’ve done
nothing my entire life.”
His response was to start his Central Oregon Constitutional Guard,
which he said was partly to protect against the government, but partly
a way to get back to a simpler America.— B.J. Soper

REDMOND,
Ore. — B.J. Soper took aim with his AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and fired
a dozen shots at a human silhouette target. Soper’s wife and their
16-year-old daughter practiced drawing pistols. Then Soper helped his
4-year-old daughter, in pink sneakers and a ponytail, work on her
marksmanship with a .22-caliber rifle.

Deep in the heart of a vast U.S. military training ground, surrounded
by spent shotgun shells and juniper trees blasted to shreds, the
Central Oregon Constitutional Guard was conducting its weekly firearms
training.

LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS and the watchdog groups (e.g.Southern
Poverty Law Center,
et al) that track the self-styled “patriot” groups call them
anti-government extremists, militias, armed militants or even domestic
terrorists. Some opponents of the largely white and rural groups have
made fun by calling them “Y’all Qaeda” or “Vanilla ISIS.”

“The intent is to be able to work together and defend ourselves if we
need to,” said Soper, 40, a building contractor who is an emerging
leader in a growing national movement rooted in distrust of the federal
government, one that increasingly finds itself in armed conflicts with
authorities.

Those in the movement call themselves patriots, demanding that the
federal government adhere to the Constitution and stop what they see as
systematic abuse of land rights, gun rights, freedom of speech and
other liberties.

“Free
speech doesn’t make you a terrorist just because you disagree with the
government. But if you start espousing violence and toward a
violent act, the federal government is going to
take notice.”
".. radicalizing your
own people," is a pretty slippery caveat, wot? (me)

Law enforcement officials call them dangerous, delusional and sometimes
violent, and say that their numbers are growing amid a wave of anger at
the government that has been gaining strength since 2008, a surge that
coincided with the election of the first black U.S. president and a
crippling economic recession.

...

President Obama’s progressive policies and the tough economic times
have inflamed anti-government anger, the same vein of rage into which
Donald Trump has tapped during his Republican presidential campaign,
said Potok and Mark Pitcavage, who works with the Anti-Defamation
League and has monitored extremism for 20 years.[READ

What left leaning, but respected mainstream media WaPost have done
here, is look into attic where lives the crazy aunt. At
first read
it's pretty evenly played. Upon further introspection, however,
not

fears are fairly documented, their opponents are "Some opponents of the largely white and
